If the list's archive is public and you are not a subscriber, your script is probably fine (I didn't look in detail), but if you are willing to subscribe first, whether the archives are private or public, you can get the list's entire cummulative mbox archive with something like wget 'http://www.example.com/mailman/private/LIST.mbox/LIST.mbox?username=U&password=P' where LIST is the list name, U is a list member's address and P is that member's list password. This has the advantage of getting all the message's headers as processed by Mailman with the exception of those added by SMTPDirect.py (Sender: and Errors-To:), not just those few that are in the periodic .txt or .txt.gz files. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
